Posted August 22, 200717 yr Hi, In Internet Explorer and Windows the Greek text has been replaced by Cyrillic. I’m running Windows XP Professional Greek. When I visit web pages written in Greek the characters appear in Cyrillic. If I change the encoding to Greek (ISO) then they are corrected for that page, but it’s not possible to keep repeating that task every time you go to another webpage. What I noticed is that after changing the encoding to Greek (ISO) and moving to another webpage the encoding has also changed back to Greek (Windows), hence it always defaults to it, regardless if auto-selection is enabled or not. When I first open IE it has defaulted to Greek (ISO), thus the first page (http://www.in.gr) appears in Greek text. When I click on a link, it changes to Greek (Windows). The problem isn’t limited to Internet Explorer 7, Help Center some windows and popup menus with Greek text are also affected. I’ve used scannow but it didn’t correct it. I’ve used Advanced Registry Tracer to track changes to the registry. The only, I think, relevant changes done in the registry at the following keys: 1) HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-436374069-220523388-682003330-1004\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Cached 2) HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-436374069-220523388-682003330-1004\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\1\Desktop 3) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\8040110900063D11C8EF10054038389C\Usage 4) HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-436374069-220523388-682003330-1004\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\International Also in IE under Tools, Internet Options and Fonts, the Language script is defaulted to Cyrillic. If I change it to Greek it reverts back to Cyrillic once the Fonts window closes. I’ve uploaded some images so you can get a better idea of the problem. 1) <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/5200/popupmenuln5.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/></a><br/> http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=popupmenuln5.jpg http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/5200/popupmenuln5.jpg 2) <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/985/ie1stopenoe3.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/></a><br/> http://img261.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ie1stopenoe3.jpg http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/985/ie1stopenoe3.jpg 3) <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/7708/ienextpageafterlinkgb9.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/></a><br/> http://img261.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ienextpageafterlinkgb9.jpg http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/7708/ienextpageafterlinkgb9.jpg 4) All 3 images at http://files-upload.com/files/450673/cyrillicnotgreek.rar OR http://www.mediafire.com/?4y9egegn9zi Thank you, James.
